Samaritan (Counseling Services)

With a team of experienced, licensed clinicians, the practice creates a safe and nurturing environment where clients can begin their journey toward healing and self-discovery. Through personalized guidance, support, and practical strategies, Samaritan Counseling Services helps individuals navigate life’s challenges, addressing concerns such as anxiety and depression, addiction and substance abuse, trauma, grief and bereavement, and stress or anger management. They also offers specialized support for couples and families, as well as individuals exploring spiritual concerns, ensuring a holistic and inclusive approach to mental wellbeing.

 

Manatee YourChoice is excited to introduce Samaritan Counseling Services as a new mental wellbeing resource for employees and members enrolled in the YourChoice Health Plan. This enhanced benefit mirrors the structure of our in‑house LAMP program, offering the first five counseling sessions at no cost, followed by a $15 co‑pay per visit. Samaritan Counseling Services provides accessible, high‑quality support for a wide range of mental health needs and is available exclusively to employees and dependents covered under the YourChoice Health Plan. While LAMP remains available to all employees—including those not enrolled in the health plan—Samaritan Counseling Services expands access for health plan members, ensuring more options for compassionate, professional care when it’s needed most.
